"This is the gumbo recipe I grew up eating. It is delicious! Not too overpowering. You can add more creole seasoning or hot sauce to kick it up if you prefer."

directions

  • Make a roux with bacon grease and flour. Be careful not to get it too dark. A light brown roux tastes best in my opinion.
  • Add onion, celery and bell pepper. Cook on low to soften them up a bit.
  • Add okra and cook for about 20 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes and about 5 cups of water. Cook 40 minutes.
  • Add shrimp. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Add green onion tops, and cook 10 minutes.
  • Serve over white rice.
